Jay Devon Lacey-Young
East Ridge Police have arrested 20-year-old Jay Devon Lacey-Young after being summoned to an apartment and seeing him holding a gun on a female.
Lacey-Young is charged with aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, tampering with evidence, and theft under $500.
In the incident on Friday just before midnight, officers were dispatched to 406 Alice Dr. on a domestic assault call. A woman inside texted her mother and sister to summon police, saying she felt Lacey-Young was going to "put hands on her."
The woman told her sister that Lacey-Young had hit her and stolen her phone.
An officer, looking through a front window, saw Lacey-Young kneeling in the living room with a phone in one hand and a gun in the other.
Other officers were then called for backup.
Police said Lacey-Young opened the front door, then went back inside and forced the woman upstairs.
Lacey-Young eventually agreed to give himself up. The gun was found in the attic.
Tyrus Birt was also at the residence, but he was not charged.
